  1. The MK2b coaches look stunning the level of detail is in another world every manufacturer who has tackled the MK2b seems to omit some detail , it seems that Accurascale /IRM have nailed it , one detail such as the door bumpers is such a distinctive detail which make the model standout unfortunately this was omitted on the Murphy Models Mk2d for example and are slightly poorer for it . I am keeping my fingers crossed that the IR/IE MK2b’s 4109 , 4401 & 4402 might appear at some point along with MK2c ex FO’s 4103 ,4104, 4105 , 4106 & 4107 possibly in a mix of three pack at some point in the future. Hint Hint ……….
  2. Beautiful craftsmanship as usual .
  3. Yes maybe a high end detailed CIE/IE BSK/BCK Steam heating van with DCC lighting .
  4. This might help too
  5. This previous thread covers it very well if one wanted the exact RAL colour the likes of Vinny Byrnes in Dublin would make it for you in a rattle can .
  6. Yes the sound chip can be used on the different locos , the difficulty would be the possibility of easily damaging the chip if your changing it from loco to loco the pins are very delicate.
  7. Here is a picture from the O'Dea collection of new 30 ton vans Holdings: New 30 ton brake van, Inchicore, Co. Dublin. (nli.ie)
  8. If you have any wagons that failed the test you can send them my way just thinking of the environment .
  9. Wonderful as always
  10. Just finished painting and and adding decals to my J M Designs open and covered wagons , only when painting them did I appreciate the superb quality of these wagons.
  11. Beautiful Work John.
  12. A lot of them were converted to ballast wagons in the late 1990’s after lying out of use in a siding in Enniscorthy for many years .
  13. Picked up one of these Oxford Rail 14ton wagons which seem very similar to Irish Shell wagons removed the ‘Mobil ‘ logos , got the Irish Shell transfers from Des at SSM models
  14. I think one could say that the thread has like 224 suffered a catastrophic crack in its main frame .
  15. Hopefully we wont have to wait that long for the next announcement from IRM.
  16. judging by look of the loco not many people read the sign
  17. Is it being repaired or is it undergoing a process of component recovery?
  18. If you looked inside the loco you could see the engine has been removed also the fuel tank and air tanks are also gone that may account for slightly bowed look.
  19. Yes as far as I remember they used the 27301 series flats for the coal and oil
  20. Yes that is correct but I thinks CIE were trying a number of solutions to the problem and this was one of them and I dont think it was a successful one.
  21. Was it for heating on branch line trains like the Loughrea?
  22. The C /B201 were very versatile and did plenty of shunting in their day
  23. Some slight visual differences in the Maybach engined locos and the C and later B GM versions . No GM headlight One of the side port hole windows covered in as illustrated in this picture from Ernies Railway Archive Lots of variations in the C , B201 locos for any manufacturer considering doing it hint hint....................
  24. C233 & C234 were re-engined in 1965/65 with MD650 Maybach engines.
